First I showed them Google Earth so they could get an idea of how maps are made.  We zoomed down and found their school.  This is a fantastic tool to use with all grade levels but especially with lower grades because they can actually see familiar buildings and roads from above.  I used screenshots from Google Earth to make the Keynote template which the students opened next.  You can download it by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/26Summer\/KMaps.zip\">here<\/a>. The template already has directions and some built-in animations, so students just need to follow the directions on each slide and press play.  You can see a sample by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/26Summer\/KMaps.mov\">here<\/a>. If you have time, a good idea would be for the students to use the audio record feature of Keynote to record themselves explaining each slide.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today in kindergarten at Chamberlayne Elementary, students worked on creating Keynote slideshows about maps (K.4, K.5).
